CRUST provides a decentralized storage network of Web3.0 ecosystem. It supports multiple storage layer protocols such as IPFS, and exposes storage interfaces to application layer. Crust's technical stack is also capable of supporting a decentralized computing layer. It is designed to build a decentralized cloud ecosystem that values data privacy and ownership.
Meaningful Proof of Work
Based on the TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) technology, Crust implements MPoW (Meaningful Proof of Work) mechanism to quantify meaningful storage resource usage and generate corresponding work report in a reliable way.
Guaranteed by Storage Resources
Crust's GPoS (Guaranteed Proof of Stake) consensus uses storage resources as a guarantee. It encourages nodes to provide more storage resources, and improves the security and robustness of the network.
Decentralized Cloud Storage and Computing
With GPoS consensus and MPoW mechanism, Crust is able to support the quantification and consensus of both storage and computing resource usage, and builds ubiquitous decentralized cloud storage and computing capabilities.

Decentralized Cloud in Web3.0
Serverless DApp/website hosting
Developers are able to deploy their own Dapps/websites based on Crust/IPFS Network. With this, developers are able to only focus on building Dapps/websites, no need for server management. Moreover, Crust Network incentives multiple nodes to store Dapp/website files and provide storage services, thus ensuring the high availability of Dapps/websites. [Crust Apps] is an example, it is hosted on Crust Network.
General off-chain data storage
Developers are able to deploy their own Dapps/websites based on Crust/IPFS Network. With this, developers are able to only focus on building Dapps/websites, no need for server management. Moreover, Crust Network incentives multiple nodes to store Dapp/website files and provide storage services, thus ensuring the high availability of Dapps/websites. [Crust Apps] is an example, it is hosted on Crust Network.
Accelerated content delivery
Developers are able to build P2P content delivery network (CDN) services with Crust/IPFS Network. Crust Network incentivizes the nodes to spontaneously distribute CDN data and play the role of CDN edge nodes to accelerate the data transmission for CDN users.
Secured cloud storage
Developers are able to build Cloud storage applications with Crust/IPFS Network. Without maintaining storage clusters, developers only need to integrate the SDK of Crust/IPFS into applications to provide users with stable storage services.
